129. Death is both tragic and irrelevent existentially ...
and it is a terrible misfortune that Mr. Johnson was murdered. I think I would prefer, if being murdered, to have it done at 90 for cuckolding some guy.

However, in acknowledging the tragedy inherent in Mr. Johnson's death, we should also acknowledge the tragedy in the deaths caused by Apache Attack Helocopters in 3rd world nations. We should also acknowledge how tragic it was that Mr. Johnson was in the Kingdom working on those machine.

The world is so filled with tragedy, that is why I acknowledge that death is irrelevent existentially, particularly if it doesn't touch our personal circle of people. I hate it. I do not cheer it although for Mr. Reagan, it might well be a blessing since he had suffered so long from Altzheimers and was in the final stages of it when he died.
